[PATCH 5.17 0276/1126] sched/fair: Improve consistency of allowed NUMA balance calculations

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>

[ Upstream commit 2cfb7a1b031b0e816af7a6ee0c6ab83b0acdf05a ]

There are inconsistencies when determining if a NUMA imbalance is allowed
that should be corrected.

o allow_numa_imbalance changes types and is not always examining
the destination group so both the type should be corrected as
well as the naming.
o find_idlest_group uses the sched_domain's weight instead of the
group weight which is different to find_busiest_group
o find_busiest_group uses the source group instead of the destination
which is different to task_numa_find_cpu
o Both find_idlest_group and find_busiest_group should account
for the number of running tasks if a move was allowed to be
consistent with task_numa_find_cpu
